|
|
<para>Does &krusader; need &kde; to

run?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<emphasis>No, &krusader; does not need the
|
|
&kde; window manager</emphasis> to run on your
|
|
computer but &krusader;'s natural environment
|
|
is &kde;, because it relies on services
|
|
provided by the &kde; base libraries. Only
|
|
some shared libraries are needed ⪚
|
|
&kde; libraries, &Qt; libraries,
|
|
&etc; This means that &krusader;
|
|
runs on &gnome-url;,
|
|
&afterstep-url;, &xfce-url; and
|
|
other window managers provided the approriate libraries
|
|
are installed on your computer. All this is not a problem
|
|
since the apt-get world can resolve these dependencies
|
|
instantly.</para>
|
|
<para></para>
|
|
<!-- Empty line to make it more readable -->
|
|
<para>You do not need to switch to the &kde;
|
|
window manager to use &krusader;; you can
|
|
still use &gnome-url;,
|
|
&afterstep-url;, &xfce-url; or
|
|
another window manager. However, the configuration of the
|
|
&krusader; fonts and some behavior is done by
|
|
running
|
|
<command>kcontrol</command>.</para>
|
|
<para></para>
|
|
<!-- Empty line to make it more readable -->
|
|
<para>A lot depends on what you want to do with
|
|
&krusader;. You should know that
|
|
&krusader; uses the &kde;
|
|
&kioslaves1-url; to access remote file
|
|
systems, and support for only a limited number of file
|
|
system types are shipped with &tdelibs-url;,
|
|
most of the &kioslaves2-url; are bundled with
|
|
&tdebase-url; (including fish, sftp and tar).
|
|
However, if you want the property-dialog to show
|
|
EXIF-data for .jpeg's, you need &kde;graphics.
|
|
If you want ID3-infos, you need
|
|
&kde;multimedia, and so on.</para>
|
|
<para></para>
|
|
<!-- Empty line to make it more readable -->
|
|
<para>To summarize, if you want a working
|
|
&krusader; - install &kde;libs. If
|
|
you want a functional &krusader; then you need
|
|
&kde;libs + &kde;base. For maximum
|
|
functionality, &krusader; needs all of the
|
|
&kde; package libraries, but the
|
|
&kde; window manager is optional.</para>

<answer>
|
|
<para>For running &krusader; (⪚

when you have installed &krusader; with a

|
binary RPM) you need less libraries than if you compile
|
|
&krusader; from source. ⪚ you

<para>Most RPM-based distributions separate the headers

from the libs. The headers are needed to compile

&krusader;. Look for packages in the form

foo-devel-*.rpm (⪚
|
|
<filename>tdelibs-devel-foo.i586.rpm</filename>) or
|
|
foo-dev-*.deb for &debian; based

distributions. These are usually included with your

distribution.

|
|
<para>I'm trying to install binary foo (RPM or DEB
|

package), but it fails. What's wrong?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>Since we only prepare (and use) the source, we have
|
|
no way of knowing this. Did you test the binary RPM
|
|
before installing?
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>rpm</command> <option>-i --test</option> <replaceable></path/to/rpmfile> krusader-x.xx.dist.rpm</replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|
If the prompt returns without any message, then
|
|
everything is OK. RPM's downloaded from our website are
|
|
usually provided by &krusader; users. Visit
|
|
your distro website and search for an updated RPM.</para>
|
|
<para>If the RPM is not OK, try to find another package
|
|
at &Linux; software archives such as
|
|
&freshmeat-url; or &kde-apps-url;.
|
|
If you still can't find the appropriate package for your
|
|
&Linux; distribution, we recommend searching
|
|
for it with &rpmfind-url; or
|
|
&rpmpbone-url;.</para>
|
|
<para>In general, a package for an older version of your
|
|
distrubution or even for another distribution might work
|
|
on your computer (⪚ FC RPM's often work on
|
|
Mdk and RH, and vice versa), but it is always the best
|
|
that you install only RPM's that exactly match your
|
|
distribution. If you can't find a package that matches
|
|
your distribution version, architecture or distribution,
|
|
then use a source RPM. When you use a source RPM, the
|
|
Krusader sources will be built, on your computer,
|
|
guaranteeing a suitable binary RPM for your specific
|
|
distribution and architecture. In addition, this method
|
|
results in maximum system speed, since the resulting
|
|
binary is customized for your computer. Please read the
|
|
previous question, it explains how to install a source
|
|
RPM. The best solution is explained in the next
|
|
question.</para>

<para>Did you take a look at the &URL;'s on

&krusader; from source. Even if you feel you

haven't got the necessary skills, you will probably
|
|
succeed in compiling &krusader;: we provide a
|

very detailed installation procedure. This HowTo enables
|

newcomers to compile &krusader; from source,

before, just follow the instructions carefully. Feel free

<question id="faqi_krusaderui_rc">
|
|
<para>I've installed &krusader;, but when I
|
|
start, only the
|
|
<guimenu>"Help"</guimenu> menu appears. Why?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>In this case only the
|
|
<guimenu>Help</guimenu> menu is visible and all other menu
|
|
items like ⪚
|
|
<guimenu>File</guimenu> and
|
|
<guimenu>Select</guimenu> are missing. This is because
|
|
some distributions put the
|
|
<filename>krusaderui.rc</filename> file in the wrong
|
|
directory. To solve the problem, just copy the
|
|
<filename>krusaderui.rc</filename> file from the package
|
|
<filename>
|
|
krusader_trinity/krusader/krusaderui.rc</filename> to
|
|
<filename>

$KDEDIR/share/apps/krusader/krusaderui.rc</filename> and
|
|
<filename>
|
|
~/.kde/share/apps/krusader/krusaderui.rc</filename> and
|
|
re-run &krusader;. If you have compiled
|
|
&krusader; from sources this is often caused
|
|
if the &kdeqtdir-lnk; environment variables
|
|
are not correctly set. The result is that the
|
|
<filename>krusaderui.rc</filename> file is installed in
|
|
the wrong directory. Please read the following question,
|

as well.</para>

<para>Some new menu items are missing after updating

</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>The
|
|
<filename>krusaderui.rc</filename> file is stored in
|
|
<filename>
|
|
$KDEDIR/share/apps/krusader/krusaderui.rc</filename>.
|
|
When you change the
|
|
<guilabel>"Toolbar"</guilabel>, &kde; makes a
|
|
copy of that file in the home directory at
|
|
<filename>
|
|
~/.kde/share/apps/krusader/krusaderui.rc</filename>. If
|
|
Krusader was previously installed on your computer, and

|
you install a newer &krusader; version the
|
|
<filename>
|
|
~/.kde/share/apps/krusader/krusaderui.rc</filename> file
|
|
must be replaced with the newer version. Note: this will
|
|
also reset all your changes on toolbars and
|
|
shortcuts!</para>
|
|
<para>The first line of
|
|
<filename>krusaderui.rc</filename> contains the version
|

number. After installing a newer &krusader;
|

version, &kde; will automatically replace the

old

<filename>
|

~/.kde/share/apps/krusader/krusaderui.rc</filename> with
|
|
the newer version when starting the new
|
|
&krusader; for the first time
|

(&kde; will detect the newer version number in
|
|
the first line).</para>
|
|
<para>If you install a CVS or beta version and
|
|
&krusader; was already installed on your

computer then you should delete the

<question id="faqi_nvidia">
|
|
<para>I have a
|
|
<filename>libGLcore.so.1</filename> compile error after
|
|
using the &nvidia; installer, what to
|
|
do?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>This problem occurs when you use the
|
|
&nvidia; installer and not the official
|
|
&nvidia; packages of your distribution.
|
|
&krusader; is based on &Qt; which
|
|
can be linked against the X OpenGL libraries. As a result
|
|
&krusader; may look for OpenGL as well. The
|
|
problem is that the &nvidia; installer (prior
|
|
to version 7xxx) doesn't perform it's task properly: it
|
|
replaces the OpenGL header files (which get included into
|
|
&krusader;) but doesn't set the libGL links
|
|
correctly. The best solution is to use the
|
|
&nvidia; packages provided by your distributor
|
|
or a new &nvidia; installer, the current
|
|
version at the moment of writing is 7114. If, for some
|
|
reason, you must use an old &nvidia; driver,
|
|
one solution is the following hack, the exact commands
|
|
depend on the distribution used and the version of the
|
|
&nvidia; driver (6111 in this example), but it
|
|
should read something like this:
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>ln</command> -s <replaceable>libGLcore.so.1.0.6111 libGLcore.so.0</replaceable></userinput>

<question id="faqu_supermount">
|
|
<para>When I try to mount/unmount my cdrom/floppy,
|
|
&krusader; reports something about a
|
|
supermount, what's this about?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>Supermount is a daemon which handles the
|
|
mounting/unmounting of removable filesystems for you.
|
|
Just insert a floppy, and do
|
|
<userinput>
|
|
<command>cd</command>
|
|
<option>
|
|
<replaceable>/mnt/floppy</replaceable>
|
|
</option>
|
|
</userinput>supermount will do the mount for you
|
|
automatically and transparently. Usually this works fine.
|
|
However, supermount misleads the system into thinking
|
|
that the
|
|
<hardware>floppy/cdrom</hardware> is mounted at all times!
|
|
This creates some problems for &krusader;, as
|
|
it cannot really know when the floppy or CD has been
|
|
removed because the system information is not correctly
|
|
updated by supermount - is there really a
|
|
<hardware>floppy</hardware> in the
|
|
<hardware>drive</hardware>? Of course, this can be
|
|
solved, but as for now, we don't consider it a
|
|
priority.</para>

<question id="faqu_dead_mountpoint">
|
|
<para>Why does &krusader; freeze or hang on a
|
|
dead mountpoint?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>When &krusader; is ⪚
|
|
browsing an NFS share and the NFS server goes down,
|
|
&krusader; will freeze. This
|
|
&krusader; (and all other open internal
|
|
viewers/editors) freeze is fatal, and can only be
|
|
corrected with the
|
|
<command>kill -9</command>. We have no solution for this.
|
|
This is an issue not confined to file managers, or even
|
|
the &Linux; OS! The problem is that you "hang"
|
|
on the first access to the dead share - so there is no
|
|
way around it, no check to avoid it, even
|
|
<command>ls</command> will freeze. Just trying to read
|
|
something - anything - is enough to get you stuck. The
|
|
one and only way around this architectural problem is
|
|
using a multi-threaded design - this way if we get stuck,
|
|
we don't hang the entire application event loop, but we
|
|
don't think that the time is right for adding threads, we
|
|
are not sure that *all* the &kde; systems out
|
|
there are using &Qt;-mt (the multi threaded
|
|
version of the &Qt; library), and the Krusader
|
|
Krew may not be the right people to address this major
|
|
issue in any case; so currently this is just a bug we
|

have to learn to live with.</para>

<answer>
|
|
<para>Krusader uses several programs as <link linkend="konfig-dependencies">external tools</link>,
|
|
and sometimes they appear not to work.
|
|
|
|
Open a terminal and check if tool foo is installed.
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>foo</command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
Check if tool foo is properly configured in the &konfigdependencie-lnk;.
|
|
|
|
For Archiving tools: autodetect the archives again with the <guibutton>Auto Configure</guibutton> button
|
|
in the <link linkend="konfig-archives">Konfigurator archive page</link>.
|
|
|
|
Check the &konfigprotocol-lnk;
|
|
|
|
If it doesn't work, backup your <filename>~/.kde/share/config/krusaderrc</filename> configuration file and remove it from this location,
|
|
Restart Krusader, Krusader will now start the first start configuration wizard, follow these guidelines.

<para>This problem often occurs when you are behind a

|
be turned on or off, depending on it's current setting.
|
|
Now try your &FTP; session again to see if it
|
|
works. Also, make sure you have no other &FTP;
|
|
sessions open (using web browsers, etc.), they can cause

complications. More information can be found in

<question id="faqu_no_part">

<para>How don't add ".part" suffix when copying files via ftp?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>When uploading files a <filename>.part</filename> suffix is added to the filename,
|
|
once the upload is complete the filename is renamed automagically
|
|
to remove the <filename>.part</filename> suffix.
|
|
This works great but sometimes some ftp-servers don't allow a rename operation.
|
|
You can solve this by unchecking the checkbox
|
|
<guilabel>Mark partially uploaded files</guilabel> in &kde;'s control center.
|
|
The checkbox is located at

could not fix or it contradicts with the idea behind

the patched module. In this sense, a software project

differs from, let's say a wiki: a software project

has to have someone to make all the final decisions.

Otherwise the software will not work. Furthermore:

keep in mind that the examination of patches might

take time, as we all have private lives.</para>

<answer>
|
|
<para>Bugs?!?!? Well, ok.... We have an online Bug
|
|
Tracking System.</para>
|
|
<para>Using the online bug-tracker helps us have a clear
|
|
and orderly way to know how many bugs are open, bug
|
|
priority and follow-ups. It saves us from browsing

through the entire &krusader; forum, searching
|
|
for yesterdays bug. Please use this system.</para>

<question id="faqg_valgrint">
|
|
<para>How can i send good debug or crash reports?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>Usually binary packages that are been used by your distribution do not contain debug information.
|
|
Since we usually only develop and fix &krusader;-cvs, compile &krusader;-cvs in debugmode and install it, than check if the bug still exist.
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>./configure</command> <option>--enable-debug=full</option></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
Install <ulink url="http://valgrind.org">valgrind</ulink>, a suite of tools for debugging and profiling &Linux; programs.
|
|
|
|
Run Valgrind/&krusader;
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>valgrind</command> <option>--tool=memcheck</option> <replaceable>{foo_path}/krusader</replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
The valgrind tool will write to stdout, what really happens.
|
|
If you could send these informations before the crash, it's almost sure, that we may fix or tell you what to do.

<question id="faqg_crashhandler">
|
|
<para>What todo if the KDEcrashhandler sends no usefull backtrace information?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>Usually binary packages that are been used by your distribution do not contain debug information.
|
|
Since we usually only develop and fix &krusader;-cvs, compile &krusader;-cvs in debugmode and install it, than check if the bug still exist.
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>./configure</command> <option>--enable-debug=full</option></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
If the KDEKrashhandler still doesn't provide usefull backtrace information, than sometimes a coredump will give better information.
|
|
Run Krusader, with disabled crashhandler.
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>krusader</command> <option>--nocrashhandler</option></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
On a crash you will get a <filename>.core</filename> file, usually in your home directory.
|
|
|
|
Run <ulink url="http://sourceware.org/gdb/">gdb</ulink>, the GNU Project Debugger
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>gdb</command> <option>-c</option> <replaceable>corefile krusader</replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
Now type <command>bt</command> to get the backtrace and type <command>q</command> to quit gdb.
|
|
|
|
Often the best debug results will be given when using the valgrint tool.

feedback. That is why we love to hear what you have to

say. With your feedback we can make &krusader;

<para>An &ofm-url; is much faster than a one

how &krusader; feels</ulink>, there is only

one way to discover: install it on your computer and use

it for a while. If you prefer to waste time and lose
